It's an ok middle of the pack top 6 but with they've got really awful defense and below average goaltending. Laine is a bit like Monahan pre-decline in that he's got a good shot and not good for much else.

Gaudreau will have trouble getting the puck. They don't have the horses to possess the puck like the Flames have or defense for a good transition game. It will be like the Hartley era all over again for Gaudreau where they get peppered and rely on rope-a-dope to score some goals. The CBJ are not looking good.
